1829 was the birth date of the Laguiole folding knife. The original model is still very close to the current one we all know today. The Aubrac was a vast rural region made up of isolated farmhouses containing several families. The elder members of these households used to leave to go to work in Catalonia during the winter season, as farmhands and mostly as woodcutters. Some of then returned to Rouerge with a Spanish knife (The Navaja) in their pockets. The Laguiole knife has taken its blade shape and slender handle from this Spanish model.

Production of the Laguiole knife was ensured by local craftsmen - often blacksmiths - who were able to meet the requirements of the Aubrac peasants. The knife had a very simple, slender shape. It was above all a practical and useful tool. It has in fact evolved according to its users' needs.

Each knife is signed by Jean Dubost. Dubost Colas Pradel was founded in 1920 by Monsieur Pierre Dubost, a professional in cutlery, who was himself a cutler's son and maker of the famous Laguiole knives. Our Folding Pocket Knife has an Olive Wood Handle, Sharpener and a beautiful leather case displaying the emblematic bee.
